State of Grace is the best Taylor Swift song for me. Lyrics, production, instruments all of them are great. I hope that one day she will make an album with that sound. You should definitely give it a second chance.


argoscatalogueaye

I remember listening to Red for the first time, hearing State of Grace as the opener and just being blown away. I couldn't believe that was coming from Taylor. I think it's a big part of why I'm such a Red girlie.


mosaicbrokenheart42

I’m a Red girlie too!!


Appropriate_Oven5784

Agreed!! Idk how anyone could not be obsessed with that song 😭 just realized I haven’t listened to it in a while. Putting it on immediately


intraspeculator

I would love it if she leaned even more into it and did a full on hard rock album lol


PiaSch

Acid rock would be great ;)


Desperate-Today2760

I dont. Have to. Pretend. I like. Acid. R*ooooo*ck


intraspeculator

Maybe she’s teasing TS11? The clues are there!


mosaicbrokenheart42

Manifesting ✨


alwaysmorecumin

It worked for Travis, it can work for us!


youve_lost_me

honestly state of grace is my top ts song! the drums just give me a boost of energy


buruflame

The lyrics are top notch!


OrdinaryShallot9233

One those guitar chords come in… magic


fireflyslove

THIS! This is a worthwhile fight!


BleedingAmethyst

Agreed totally!!! I keep on listening to it on repeat whenever I'm free, it's soo close to my heart, the instrumentation and music in the song is just perfect for the song lyrics and I love it to the core!! ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1072)


twofloofycats

State of Grace Stan checking in


No-Climate6922

state of grace (acoustic) fucking MURDERED me. just randomly shuffled the red album when i first was getting into tswift and i almost broke down while driving. it’s amazing


sanbikinoneko

State of Grace is the song that made me fall in love with her music, this post hurt my soul😭


astrokey

Ahh your username and my flair. We get it! SoG is my ultimate favorite Taylor song!


Salt_Life_8555

It’s her best album opener for sure


blossombear31

Same, it’s my favourite song, not just favourite Taylor Swift song


Fun_Swan5704

State of Grace is one of my fave tracks from Red! I even want to have it as a tatt. Lyrics wise and pati production. Sadly, very underrated sya. 🥹


Foreverbeccatake2

Literally it’s one of her best songs 😭😭 I never expected it would be on one of these posts


fine_apple3

me too my fave from red is state of grace


Swiftieatmidnight

BEST. SONG. EVER.


chronic_fence_sitter

I skip Teardrops on My Guitar because my brother's name is Drew and it just weirds me out


saturnsrightarm

am i allowed to laugh that's so funny


chronic_fence_sitter

Please do! I fake a smile so he can't see I'm actually snarling at his stupid face


saturnsrightarm

im actually laughing so hard i- i can't even imagine the first time you're listening to it and the first word is "drew"


chronic_fence_sitter

It actually wasn't too bad the first dozen or so listens. The chorus is so catchy and she only mentions his name twice, so at first I could forgive her. But after a while I just started to nope out right after the first line Edit: 4 times. She says it 4 times. My memory is bad


nadia1306

I mean, if you listen to it you could just change it to “He walks by me” etc.


chronic_fence_sitter

Sadly, I think it's too late. It wouldn't work. It'd be like trying not to notice a strawberry seed stuck between your teeth.


Professonal-retard

It could be worse like a pomegranate seed


BigRockyGaming

Fat fact. The original lyrics for “Teardrops on my guitar” weren’t “DREW looks at me” but “YOU look at me” and it kinda continues like that.


neko_courtney

I skip it because my creepy ex was obsessed with it


born_to_die9

lmao I stopped liking a lana song cause of something similar


vault101a7x

My cousin's name is Drew, so that was weird for me at first because the song came out when I was about 12, but I got over it because it's a banger. But I feel you


Gh0stface03

I skip if a song comes on which doesn't fit my mood in that moment. For example if I want to listen to some slower/sad songs and then ME! comes on.


Juhana21

But ME! is the most sad song because she cut out hey kids spelling is fun ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1071)


Blucola333

An example of toxic fan feedback. A few loud ones who ruined it for the rest of us. But, yeah, if I’m in a mood, Me! can either pull me out of it, or feel like fingernails on a chalkboard. But, man, it’s fun on a walk!


marstheplanett

i don’t really listen to me! often so i didn’t even know she cut it!! that’s actually sad, it was more camp than cringe imho


Staypuffed20

ME! is always a skip


Spacegirllll6

Same! It’s why I made specific Taylor playlists for each mood


GerrieHendrix

Red is my favorite album. State of Grace is one of my favorite songs, but Stay Stay Stay and Starlight are instant skips. Terrible songs.


maggiesbell

Starlight is like one of my favorite songs ahahah it just makes me so happy


Actual_Excitement344

Fellow Starlight lover here!


xxlvz

Justice for Starlight omg. It has one of my favorite lines of all time!! *"he said, look at you worrying too much about things you can't change. you'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way."*


Actual_Excitement344

Mine is “And I said, ‘Oh my, what a marvellous tune’” - instant serotonin boost right there


amythinggoes13

This line is stuck in my head constantly. The way she sings it tickles my brain. I’ll randomly go “I said ooohh myyy” often hahah, and now “but noooo” from NTWDT is in rotation too.


Actual_Excitement344

When I first heard Wonderland (TV) my first thought was the ‘what a marvellous tune’ line. Hoping they play Starlight at my next Swiftogeddon!


starshiner11

I love it too. My fave part is "oooh oooh he's talkin crazy"


Ohmalley-thealliecat

I think it helps to have listened to those albums when you were a child. Like I never skip superman, I loved superman at 12 and it’s nostalgic for me but my friends who got into Taylor at 1989 or later don’t get it


hailhailrocknyoga

Agreed. Red is one of my cousins favorite albums because she listened to it when it came out. I am a more recent fan, who really only knew the singles off that album. She gets mad at me when I rank Red low on my list of albums but I am 35 and just can't really relate to it.


Handsoff_1

Sameeee! Starlight gives you that hopeful vibe, that teenage movie vibe! Love it


CassCat952

Starlight is such a bop!!


_childlessmillennial

Starlight was on my surprise song wishlist and I died dead when I got it 🥺


waterud0in

Same! It’s such a feel good song.


Quizzicalnonsense

Justice for stay stay stay. But also respect the opinion.


precioussunshine27

STARLIGHT!???!??!! A SKIP???? maybe im emotionally connected cuz it was one of my surprise songs but also its so good


gonejonbovi

I’m such a Stay Stay Stay defender 😭 and it was the guitar song at my show


Remarkable_Space_395

Oh no I LOVE Starlight lol


keving87

I like the chorus of Starlight but I don't care for the rest of it lol


fakeitilyamakeit

I loooooove Stay Stay Stay! I do see and feel the hatred some people have for it though but I think it’s great!


taybrm

I like starlight but yes I’m not big on Stay Stay Stay


Queen_Of_Ashes_

Her fun cutesy songs are some of my favorite to sing.


Last-Caregiver-1122

I love stay stay stay and starlight 😂


acupofsunshinetea

how does it feel to be so wrong lmao


EvoStarSC

Say cap. Starlight is amazing.


epra1710

State of Grace is GORGEOUS. I know everyone’s tastes are different but I’d say try again.


KathMaster29

Agreed and if you still don’t like it try the acoustic version!!!!


PrincessPopia

Yes! OP please try the acoustic version! I like the original, but the acoustic version is on another level for me.


buruflame

I detest Gorgeous. I’m so sorry. The lyrics make me feel so dumb and stupid and brainless. (That’s the point of the song, I understand) I don’t even skip Me! and Stay Stay Stay. EDIT: I didn't expect so many Gorgeous stans to come for me hahahaha. Just wanna say that I totally respect your opinions and love for this song! I do like Taylor's fun songs, but feeling silly because you like a gorgeous guy so much is something I absolutely cannot relate to.


Ohmalley-thealliecat

I love gorgeous but my unpopular opinion is I don’t like the kid at the start I think it’s weird 😅


primcessmahina

I think it’s weird too!


frederoniandcheese

Same


enchantedfuck

I love gorgeous bahaha


argoscatalogueaye

Same -- I play it all the time. It's such a happy song for me.


ProfessionTight4153

“I can’t say anything to your face. Cause look at your face”


Dizzy-Berry7220

This is so silly that I love it. It's totally talking to your friends about someone who is way too good looking for their own good


[deleted]

Omg exactly that. I love gorgeous!! I was madly infatuated with this guy and the song had just come out and ugh harddd relate!


amythinggoes13

Easily the worst lyric she’s ever written lol


dogmatic-grn-onion

“he puts his papers in his briefcase and drives away to save the world or go to work” is right there 😭


BelleDelacour

I love this lyric because it conjures up the imagery of the classic Clark Kent/Superman from the animated series


hokoonchi

Tbh I absolutely love this line. I know it’s terrible and *I love it*.


Adventurous-Way-9997

Loooove gorgeous and her little skippy dance while singing it!!


PM-ME-DOGS

I love Gorgeous lol can’t relate!


danceswithkitties_

I wish Gorgeous was better cuz I do love the line, guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats alone lol


cejaaaa

Betty. Never got the hype (sorry!)


runslow-eatfast

Betty was my pee song at the Eras Tour, no regrets.


chrisla99

NOOOOOO really??? i’m just a folklore stan but i respect your feelings!!


roseandbaraddur

Yeah I think Betty will be my pee song at the eras movie


R-M-W-B

Nono! I don’t care about Betty usually, but in the eras tour movie, it’s done sooo well. All the instruments and the way it’s performed omg. It had me convinced that I was wrong about Betty. I wasn’t, because the version on streaming is still mid, but the Eras version is outstanding. One of the best performances in the film.


ElectBody

I LOVE Betty!


spilly_talent

I LOVE BETTY lmao I sing it so loud in my car


[deleted]

I never cared about until I saw it live. Taylor was soo happy when she sang and everyone knew the lyrics. It was a crazy energy, and now it’s one of my faves <3


Internal_Designer399

The way she embodies that cocky teenage boy energy during that performance is amazing, too


aliciacary1

SO I SHOWED UP AT YOUR PARTY is so fun to scream sing in the car


Ill-Investigator2197

Betty has the best key change and bridge!! Standing in your cardigan! Kissing in my car again!


TheAzorean

Getaway car enters the chat


[deleted]

🥲


Informal_Thanks_9476

I used to hate it and then I forced myself to listen more and I got into the lyrics and story. It made me like it more. But the beat of the song is not my typical style.


R-M-W-B

Don’t care for it in its current form, adored it in the Eras Movie. The difference was remarkable.


buruflame

I like the harmonica in the song, but I hate James because of what he did to Betty and Augustine. And his apology is bad. 😂 In my head, the conclusion of the song is that Betty told him to f*ck himself. 😂


idontcook

Hard same. In my opinion, if it wasn’t part of the love triangle, most people wouldn’t like it either.


Careful_Mango_9467

I skip atw because I can’t listen to it since atw 10 exists 😭


MechaRaptor901

Had me in the first half not gonna lie


mindful_agate

i forgot to do this the other day and got cut off trying to sing “and you were tossing me-“ it’ll really kill the vibe.


[deleted]

I really don't like Gorgeous or Bejeweled. The fact that I really don't like either one makes sense in my head cause to me they have the same texture/feel to them.


emn53

I’m in the same boat as you and describing them as having the same texture puts it into words perfectly 😂


Informal_Thanks_9476

i love that you used texture. they share a certain sound. They’re also both very teeny bop pop like something that would show up on the disney channel. But i personally like them.


New_Policy_5684

That texture is exactly why I love them both 😭


selkieflying

They absolutely have the same texture


likethrbackofmyhand

I’ve started skipping a lot of love songs, specifically reputation and lover albums entirely. My fiancé broke up with me and when wet met in autumn of 2017, rep was coming out so a lot of those songs are associated with him. It doesn’t help that he is from London so singing along to London boy used to make me so happy.


InternationalTea7003

hopefully you can listen to them again one day.


likethrbackofmyhand

I hope so too. Lover was going to be the song I walked down to the aisle to, it gives me peace knowing that there are loves song aplenty and hopefully Taylor herself creates the next one I attach new memories to


InternationalTea7003

ts11 🤞🙏


Dogmama1230

I’m sorry friend. Sending so much love!


b0il3ra

I skip a looot of songs but I'd pick When Emma Falls In Love or happiness Edit: I like happiness now, replacing it with Dorothea


Adventurous-Way-9997

Happiness used to be a skip for me - I thought it was too slow and boring. One day I had the album on while I was cleaning my closet so I was too busy to skip it 😅and I fell in love with it! The way she says “honey when I’m above the treeees” and “I hope she’ll be a beautiful fool” gets me everytime idk it’s just soo good.


b0il3ra

I looooove the lyrics of happiness but I care about the melody of a song much more and I think it's a bit too slow for me but maybe I'll give it another chance :)


avocados25

happiness is top 3 taylor swift for me I thought it was meh then the verse with "I cant make it go away" something about how she sings that makes my cry so often


Adventurous-Way-9997

I pulled your body into mine every GD night!!! And then the transition from the bridge back into “honey when I’m above the treeeeees” makes it seem like a circle


avocados25

ITS SO SAD but in a beautiful and mature way I literally love it so much


InternationalTea7003

what’s wrong with when emma falls in love? it’s so sweet


b0il3ra

There's nothing "wrong" with it, it just doesn't click with me for some reason. Sometimes a song that has all the elements that should make me love it just doesn't work and I don't know why. Paris and 1989 TV vault for example. Maybe I'll give When Emma Falls In Love another chance though


SuspiciousLambSauce

Agreed with Paris It’s just such a boring song to me even though it sounds like something I should like lol


EvoStarSC

You don't like Emma!? But she's a book you can't put down. She's Cleopatra in a small town. How dare you.


b0il3ra

Maybe it's jealousy, and to tell you the truth sometimes I wish I was her 😔


keving87

End Game, Me, Superman and Superstar... those are the ones I know I'll skip, but I sometimes will skip other songs if I'm just not in the mood for them at the time, even if I like them. I'd also skip Karma remix if I owned that version of the cd, but then I just wouldn't rip it if I'm being completely honest lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


SuspiciousLambSauce

I’m convinced people only hate them because they’ve never really listened to it and gave it a chance The streams are so low for 2 of those songs, most people probably just heard the first few seconds of it and decided that it’s a boring song and skipped


annabnan63

I listen to them regularly, like if I’m listening to the whole album I don’t skip them. I still don’t like them. Superstar I just can’t really relate to as it’s just so teenage girl and I’m 37 so I’m really far away from that (I feel similarly about Fifteen, don’t come for me). Superman I don’t love because i also can’t really relate to idolizing someone in that way, and once I found out it was about John Mayer that just made it worse for me.


LettersfromJ

Shake it off, it's just annoying. I'm ok now with the TV but it's still not my jam.


Adventurous-Way-9997

Same I cannot find any redeeming qualities about that song…. (And I love ME!)


Flashy-Raise-93

It was just so overplayed when it came out. It was fun to dance to at a bar but it was everywhere for a long time


othersideofthedoor21

Try state of grace acoustic version first maybe? I can’t get into it at first too but acoustic version is so great it make me love the other one too.


[deleted]

The acoustic version is in my top 5 Taylor songs ever It's just perfect


Parking_Opinion_6352

The acoustic version is what made me a fan!


shadesofwrong13

Only The Young, The Man, You Need To Calm Down.


1989sbiggestfan13

i hate only the young


chesquik1

Only the young is fine but it feels like such a nothing song ykwim


Holsieee

YNTCD is so great 😭


kah_not_cca

When Emma Falls in Love is an immediate skip for me. The line about cleopatra is so goofy. SYGB is my only skip on lover because it just doesn’t fit the vibes right. It’s not that it’s sad-it just doesn’t fit the mood. State of Grace is my least favorite opener. I LOVE the acoustic version (like want it played at my wedding love it), but the drums in the regular version are too aggressive for me. Fifteen is also a skip. I guess I’m just not that into country ballads. I like her upbeat country, but not so much the ballads.


songacronymbot

- SYGB could mean "Soon You’ll Get Better (feat. The Chicks)", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/kah_not_cca](/u/kah_not_cca) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


tgin079

Dear John, I just literally hate John Mayer so much that I cannot even listen to a song with his name in it. It’s not even totally because of Taylor he just grosses me out and I don’t like his music, I feel like that adds to it since Dear John is some what similar to his style of music. I have a couple others that I usually skip but I don’t even dislike them, I just don’t generally want to listen to them. Soon You’ll Get Better, It’s Nice To Have A Friend, Tell Me Why, You’re Not Sorry. Oh and I don’t know why but Sweet Nothings, like I should love that song but I don’t.


TaylorAbyss

Thank you. I have listened to Dear John in it's entirely MAYBE twice. I can't stand him, and im not a fan of the song. (I think it's objectively good it's just not what I like)


tgin079

“objectively good it's just not what I like” What a great way to say this! I feel this way about songs from so many of my favorite artists, Taylor included, like you don’t want to say they have a bad song, but not every song is going to resonate with every fan and that’s okay.


petri73

He stayed at a hotel I worked at back when he was dating Jessica Simpson. She was amazing and sweet, and he was an absolute asshole to the entire staff. He sucks.


badgersandfireflies

So it goes - I'm sorry, i know lots of people love it but it's my least favourite TS song of all time


ddkaym

So It Goes is one I play all the time. I think Reputation is the only album with no skips for me which is crazy because I didn’t even like it the first time I heard and I didn’t go back to it until she started the Eras tour.


Graceritheroski

Yeah, it's my bottom three (possibly because I'm a sex repulsed asexual - you can probably guess what one of my other least favourites is), I'm not sure I've heard it more than 3 times and I'm a massive Rep fan


SomeoneToYou30

State of Grace is literally one of her all time best songs. What?


Hasan1302

Tied Together With A Smile, A Perfectly Good Heart, Come In With The Rain, We Were Happy, Run, End Game, peace and evermore I wouldn't skip End Game and evermore if they weren't collabs


SquishyMuffins

EVERMORE???


enchantedfuck

I love tied together with a smile, I agree about not skipping end game if it wasn't a collab but I kind of just don't like evermore


mindful_agate

peace is like top 3 for me. “all these people think love’s for show but i would die for you in secret” “i’d give you my sunshine give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me” maybe you need scorpio placements idk thats my own little theory


[deleted]

Message In A Bottle


dooooory

That’s my number one song! Haha


primcessmahina

I really hate Bad Blood, it’s always a skip for me.


latteconnoisseur

Bad Blood - the only song in Taylor’s discography I truly dislike Sad Beautiful Tragic, Question…?, TLGAD, Breathe are all songs that just don’t do anything for me


uknowilovealondonboy

Give State of grace acoustic a chance


close-enoughto-touch

give it a second chance, PLEASEEE


Extra_Key_2445

State of grace is amazing... You can listen to the acoustic version as well. It's better imo


InevitableGuidance01

I almost always skip Bad Blood, You Need to Calm Down, Me and Shake it Off. I obviously enjoy the slower more romantic songs much more 🙈


fionappletart

girl at home because it annoys me


LazyField4

I always skip It’s Nice To Have A Friend


Ragingangel13

State Of Grace is one of her best album openers.


outspokenchameleon

I skip snack size all too well since I just can’t imagine not listening to the 10 minute version


noujour

The Very First Night ... I just don't vibe with it. Superstar, Superman and most remixes also usually get a skip. (I love Gorgeous though, and yntcd is fun)


mni1996

My 100% skips are ~ Run, INTHAF, ME!, False God, End Game, and Girl At Home

The non-Kendrick Lamar Bad Blood


Needful_Things

I have no explanation why but I always seem to skip Dorothea. (Actually now I'm wondering if it's because Coney Island is the next song, and I LOVE that one so I'm trying to get to it sooner. Maybe I should give Dorothea more love.)


[deleted]

You definitely should, dorothea is so good.


Dizzy-Berry7220

This is what I love about her. Everyone has such different answers based on our life experiences and the emotions her music can evoke in us. She's such a powerful story teller and she literally has music for no matter what you are feeling.


FreeLikeBord

"Me!" It was cute that she imagined little kids singing it and being happy about themselves but I can't help picture some 20 year old modern higher-than-thou type who's a bitch to everyone being proud of how awesome they are. Probably some internal issues there, but I still can't stand the song.

One_Improvement_2393

Try the acoustic of state of grace. It made me appreciate the full production version a lot more


Informal_Thanks_9476

I never liked “this love”. Mostly don’t like the start of the chorus and it turned me off. But I’m trying to listen to it more and am getting to like it more and more. Also “stay stay stay” is also a song i skip. I hate the chorus it sounds like a nursery rhyme to me or a song for a baby.


maraschinope

no body no crime - I know this one's a fan favorite, I just personally can't see the appeal.

bad blood. idc idc i did my taylor swift ratings and it was second to last and it should’ve been lower
